Default Man this truck in person was BEAUTIFUL

This last weekend i went the NHRA March Meets in Bakersfield, CA to watch the races. While i was there I meet Rodger, the owner of Ironworks. He was kind enough to offer my father and I to meet him at his shop after the races so i can check out some of his projects. I have been following his C6 56 truck build and I am a big fan of his work. So i was kind of excited to see everything. All i must say is DAMN!!!!! His shop was spotless, and HUGE. It was around 10k sqft. After talking with him for a few minutes i asked to see this infamous truck. It was a work of art. The pics that i have see on the internet don't do it justice at all. I could have spent all day checking out all the little things that he has done to the truck that i was never aware of him doing. WOW. I wanted it soo bad . Then I checked out the 67 nova project. I have never was a big fan of the 67's but after checking out this one I seriously wanted to go out and purchase a 67. It was amazing. I don't think i can explain it to the level it is at so i am just going to say . The coolest thing was that Rodger was so humble, modest and an overall great guy. If you guys ever get a chance to meet rodger and see his work i am sure you will be in awe just like i was. Anyways here are a few pics. Thanks Rodger for everything.

I'm jealous. I'd love to see that truck and John's Nova in person. I guess I'll have to wait until they are finished and make it to some shows.

I've said it every chance I get, so at the risk of sounding like a SUCKA$$ - Beautiful work!

I thought it was a step bar to help John get in! Sorry John, I couldn't help it!
